Ummmm....Not quite....Since I posted my original question I have learned that this Reel has larger line capacity. It holds approx. 140 yds of 16 lb Mono.
Even 40 yds more then the HD Zillion. and slightly more then the Tatula HD.

The previous NON SV Zillion TW holds 100yds of 16 lb Mono. JDM 1516 Magsealed version holds 110 yds of 16 lb Mono.

"Our" Daiwa Site ????
Then you should know that 130 Meters (which is what it actually says) equals 142 yds. I used 140 as an approximate.

It's a 1516 reel aka Tat zillion TWS as opposed to a 1016 Tat Zillion SV. I imagine that line capacity would be very similar to the discontinued 1516 Tat Zillion TWS.

With a much larger line capacity and slower ratio.
